By Staff | Feb 3, 2009

SARASOTA (AP) – A man who pleaded no contest to charges he molested a 12-year-old in the back of an ice cream truck in Sarasota has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Galen L. Yoder, 39, was sentenced Monday and will have to register as a sex offender once he is released. The girl told police that Yoder drove the truck to a secluded part of Sarasota and molested her. Prosecutors dropped three other charges and Yoder pleaded guilty to one remaining charge.
